Captain Falcon () is a returning veteran in the game Super Smash Bros. Universe. His design has been changed to most resemble his "GX" design after using his "X" design in the previous four installments of Smash. Like all veterans in Universe, Falcon now has several alternate costumes that can be purchased in the Smash Shop, and he now features an alternate character slot which is shared with Kent Akechi from F-Zero Maximum Velocity for the Game Boy Advance.

Falcon Punch

Captain Falcon winds up and releases his iconic fiery punch. Inputting a direction (up or down) when charging Falcon Punch in the air will give a slight boost in that direction.

Side Special

Raptor Boost

Captain Falcon dashes forward and follows up with an uppercut. Can meteor smash the opponent if used in the air.

Up Special

Falcon Dive

Captain Falcon attempts to grab an opponent, finishing with an explosion. If successful, he will cry "YES!!!". Does a harmless flip if the attack fails.

Down Special

Falcon Kick

Captain Falcon bursts forward with a flaming high-speed kick. If used in the air, Captain Falcon will plunge down at a diagonal angle.

Final Smash

Blue Falcon

Captain Falcon calls in the Blue Falcon, which crashes through the stage in front of Captain Falcon. Whoever it hits when it first appears will be hit by the rest of the move. Characters who are not hit will stay in place until the end of the smash. A short cutscene appears, and the opponents are run over and sent flying. Like certain other Final Smashes, if no one is hit when the Blue Falcon appears, then the attack fails.

Captain Falcon and Rick Wheeler summon both the Blue Falcon and the Dragon Bird at once and race against each other until they approach the opponent. Upon reaching the opponent, the two machines begin spin attacks and cause an electrical tornado which paralyzes the player. Captain Falcon and Rick Wheeler then jump out of their machines and preform a Giant Falcon/Dragon Punch to the opponent.

Taunts

Up taunt: Charges himself up with a fiery aura, similar to when using the Falcon Punch.

Side taunt: Holds out his hand and gestures his opponent to come closer, exclaiming "Come on!".

Down taunt: Faces the camera, salutes and exclaims "Show me your moves!" (The animation is different and faster if he is facing left).
